added a 46 Dodge truck to the collection

just picked up a 1946 dodge 1/2 ton pickup...just love the lines of them old trucks to p*** it by

 

some pics of "The Creeper"

 

You better love that truck or send it down the road to someone like,aaaa............ME! Seriously that truck is awesome. I too love the old dodges and you will find they are pretty cool. Not many around compared to a chevy or ford. Great score!

 

C l e a n ! ! !

 

thanks guys..yeah all there with a ***le yet too..couldn't p*** it up....
it needs work but they are worth it

 

inside is all there..flat 6 ......seen it and had to have it

 

cant believe all the bee's in this thing...wow

 

My Granddad had a '46, bought it new and drove it 'til he died in '71. I love those trucks. I was gonna steal stewdecky's when he drove it to the Stray Kat 500, but thought they might not let me come back if I did!

I remember the wasp nests in my granddad's. He just ignored them, said leave 'em alone and they won't bother you.

 

I'm going to keep an eye on Arkiehotrods as my drivers side door won't lock. I'm thinking dual carbs and exhaust on the ol' flathead. Maybe a t-5 ****** to speed things up. What are your plans munster?

 

With all the junk in Cheyenne,Wyoming you just had to come down our way & steal one of ours??? -- It's has Colorado plates on it.....
Looks pretty clean!

 

Great score!! I LOVE those trucks!!! I agree with you too about their lines...very deco and ***y!! Get some cans of Black Flag and getto work!! Have fun with it man, and keep us posted!!!

 

two cans of black flag and there still hangin on for dear life...lol

i had to get it in colorado it was cheaper and in better condition than what they want up here.hahaha....besides you guys got Plenty down there


not sure on plans yet but i do have a v8 dakota sitting here....hmmmmmm

 

thats very nice! love the red on it

 

Most early Mopars doors lock by pushing/pulling the inside handle opposite of the way you open it.

 

i believe fords do too, atleast my 66 did

 

i wish the dakota was 2wd...really not wanting to 4wd this truck...but can stll keep it low i guess.....

 

What is a stabel ?

 

You put it in the tank to keep your gas from goin stale.......no wait....

Anyway; I loved the`46 Dodge Pickup I had. That was like 30 yrs. ago. Nice score.

 

Exactly cause after sitting that tank sure smelled, beside i dont have horse's to put it next to in the stable...lol....someone caught it

 

and a canook to boot

 

Very nice, always wondered what these would look like with the headlights moved toward the grille a bit, they're kind out of place way out on the fender. Not that it looks bad, but it would be more 'stylish' with them moved in and maybe down a bit. But what do I know

 

i've seen them both ways you have mentioned ..to me they look good no matter where ya put them...

 

That looks like its in great shape for a 66 year old truck...great score ...I love my 47...1939 to 1941 thay have the headlights closer to the grille...

 

That's a nice one Munster. Trying to remember where I saw that truck at. Hereford or Grover?

 

Berthoud

 

There was a truck just like this at the Redneck Rumble This weekend. Same year color and all it was a pretty cool truck. Good luck with your project!

 

Great score man, I dig it.

 

Thanks!....just got to decide on a what route i want to go with it..

slamm it & chop it

put on a different ch***is - v8 2wd

put it on this v8 dakota frame i have


oh the decisions...hahahaha either way its a keeper for awhile atleast

 

was cleaning thru it and found out the guy had the 6volt positive in wrong - neg. was grounded...so will have to see what he fried up in it....

 

i haven't had a chance to check and see what damage might have been caused from the battery situation? anyone else ever gone thru this?
it might help in getting her going....guy said he had the starter rebuilt but im thinking that was before the wire problem
